But when they met, she found that the style of these two people was really different from the [Explorer] boss she had imagined. Except that their equipment was indeed much more advanced, the two of them looked like a couple in school, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, talking and laughing.
Talking to them was like talking to a friend, and her tense heart slowly relaxed. This feeling was very comfortable.
"You can touch it secretly while it's sleeping. Coco doesn't want strangers to touch it. If it wakes up, you won't be able to touch it." Xu Xin was afraid of waking Coco up, so he spoke to her in a low voice as if whispering something.
He could see that the girl in front of him was not in a good mental state, so he decided to wait a while before mentioning the matter of the parasitic tree house. He had been running back and forth all the way, so it would be good for him to take a break before continuing.
"Then..." Li Yajun looked at Coco with wide eyes and reached out to touch Coco.
Coco was sleeping on her back in Li Wenxi's arms. She must have fallen asleep comfortably because she was being rubbed on her belly.
"Hmm..." Coco stuck out her tongue and wagged her tail in her sleep.
"So cute..." Li Yajun touched Coco's little belly. The soft and furry touch, Coco's cry, and the little expression of sticking out her tongue healed her instantly.
If she had such a cute little animal to accompany her, she might not be like she is now, almost suffering from a nervous breakdown.
“…Hmm?”
Coco slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw that a stranger was touching her, she instantly jumped up from Li Wenxi's legs.
It jumped onto Xu Xin's body, climbed onto his shoulders, and hung on his back. Then it stuck its little head out and called to Li Yajun, "Bing! Bing-bing-bing!"
It seems that this little guy still doesn't let others touch him.
Xu Xin lifted Keke from his back into his arms, patted its little head and comforted it: "It's not an enemy, don't be nervous."
"Boo! Boo!" Coco waved its little paws in protest, as if to say, even if it's not an enemy, it's not allowed to be touched by anyone!
"Keke really doesn't let others touch her!" It was the first time that Li Wenxi saw Keke resisting, and she felt a little strange. Every time she touched Keke, Keke was very well-behaved.
Although Li Yajun felt a little disappointed that Coco disliked her, she was still amused by Coco's appearance.
As I laughed, a tear rolled down my cheeks.
Li Yajun has been alone in this world for so many days, exploring alone, and her spirit is almost on the verge of collapse.
She didn't have a blue-level watch and couldn't communicate outside the tree house, so all her activities had to be done alone.
Xu Xin and the others could not understand the feelings of ordinary survivors.
For example, during dungeon exploration, the Explorers, who had the ability to communicate outside of the treehouse, discussed and shared strategies with each other. This was a stark contrast to exploring alone, disconnected from the outside world, and unsure of their next demise. Furthermore, Xu Xin had Coco accompanying him, so he didn't feel any loneliness or fear.
Ordinary survivors can only hunt wild animals alone, explore dungeons alone, and wait alone on the second floor of the tree house for the end of thunderstorms and heavy rain.
Xu Xin and the others had never felt this kind of mental torture.
After experiencing so many events, she had long been fed up with the loneliness of surviving alone and bearing the unknown fear that could come at any time.
She kept wondering when she could really meet other survivors, and when she could survive together with others, supporting each other.
So, after the second phase started, when the Explorer informed everyone on the regional channel that the protected areas were connected and wanted to recruit members to survive as a team, she had only one thought: she must go!
If Xu Xin and the others hadn't told her on the regional channel that the protected areas were not completely connected and it was best not to move around on her own as she might run into danger, she would probably have gone out to look for it on her own!
"Oh, why are you crying again? Okay, from today on, we are real partners! From now on, you don't have to face danger alone!" Li Wenxi grabbed Li Yajun's hand and comforted her.
"Hmm..." Li Yajun sobbed and held Li Wenxi's hand tightly.
Xu Xin could also understand her current mood.
Humans are social animals. For those who possess sufficient personal abilities to survive in this world, the greatest enemy in the first stage is not the activities that can take their lives time and time again, but their own hearts.
Even if it was Xu Xin, if he didn't have the company of Coco, the chatterbox who cried all day long, and the daily video calls with Li Wenxi to relax, his mental state would probably have some problems.
However, it seemed that she had almost released her previous emotions, and it was time to talk business.
Their main task today is to find Qi Xuefei, and they can't spend too much time here.
